The men attacked Alex Cauich outside the Nitecap Bar at O'Farrell and Hyde streets Nov. 9 and turned on his cousin when he rushed to his defense.

Neighbors reported hearing the men yelling "white power" and a witness heard the assailants yelling, "run like you run across the border" while chasing the victims, Gascón said.

A search of Allen's apartment turned up Nazi and white supremacist paraphernalia.

The jury, which convicted Allen and Meskan Friday, did not convict them of committing a hate crime.

A third man, Anthony Weston, 33, pleaded guilty to assault and the hate crime allegation before the trial began and testified against Allen and Meskan, said Stephanie Ong Stillman, spokeswoman for the district attorney. He was sentenced to eight to 10 months and is now free.
